B) 2
C) 6
D) 10
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Energy provided to the ground state electron
$ =\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.6\times {10^{-34}}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{975\times {10^{-10}}} $ $ =\frac{6.6\times 3}{975}\times {10^{-16}} $ $ =0.020\times {10^{-16}}=2\times {10^{-18}}J $
$ =\frac{20\times {10^{-19}}}{1.6\times {10^{-19}}}eV $ $ =\frac{20}{1.6}eV=12.5eV $
It means the electron is jump to n = 3 from n = 1.
The number of field lines possible from $ n=3 $ To $ n=1 $ is 2. n $\rightarrow$ 3, to n $\rightarrow$ 2 to n $\rightarrow$ 1.
